Today, I’m excited to introduce you to Brasserie Tout Ronds, a newly opened bistro in Morito, Hayama. This charming French bistro breathes new life into the space that once housed a Pizza-La, creating a fresh destination for food lovers.
If you’re from Hayama, you probably know the spot I’m talking about – it’s a landmark in its own right!
Charm ①: Authentic French, in a Relaxed Setting
Think French cuisine feels a bit too formal? Brasserie Tout Ronds is here to change that. The interior exudes warmth, with dark wood and tiles blending seamlessly under the soft glow of sunlight streaming through large windows. Casual attire like jeans is perfectly acceptable, and the owners greet you with a laid-back, friendly vibe.
French restaurants can feel intimidating, but this place is truly welcoming! I’d feel totally comfortable bringing my kids along.
For lunch, I had two options: Pork Belly and Mushroom Chasseur in Tomato Sauce and Beef Braised in Red Wine. Both were slow-cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious.
Today’s Lunch Menu
- Lunch A: Pork Belly and Mushroom Chasseur in Tomato Sauce – 2,310 yen
- Lunch B: Beef Braised in Red Wine with Mashed Potatoes – 2,750 yen
The set includes homemade deli, salad, bread, and a choice of coffee or tea.
Charm ②: Appetizers that Pair Perfectly with Wine
The appetizer platter that comes with the lunch set is a feast for the eyes and the palate, featuring a variety of small dishes on one plate. The highlight? The Pâté de Campagne – a richly flavored terrine made purely from pork. It’s free of any gaminess, letting the natural flavors of the meat shine, and it pairs perfectly with mustard.
Honestly, this appetizer alone is worth a visit. I could see myself enjoying a few glasses of wine with just this plate!
Charm ③: Red Wine Braised Beef that Melts in Your Mouth
The beef braised in red wine is so tender that you won’t need a knife. The rich, flavorful sauce begs to be mopped up with bread, and the pairing with creamy mashed potatoes makes this dish feel like pure indulgence.
The Pork Belly and Mushroom Chasseur is equally delightful – slow-cooked to perfection with a comforting, homey flavor that feels like something straight out of a French countryside kitchen.
Charm ④: A Bistro Reflecting the Warmth of Its Owners
The heartwarming atmosphere at Brasserie Tout Ronds is a reflection of its owners – a young couple with deep ties to Hayama. The wife, a Hayama native, and the husband, an experienced chef who has worked at renowned establishments, opened this bistro as their first venture.
The name “Tout Ronds” means **”perfectly round”** in French. The couple affectionately chose this name because they both have round faces. Their lighthearted spirit and attention to detail are woven into every part of the restaurant – from the warm atmosphere to the perfectly round loaves of bread served with meals. Spotting these little touches of “roundness” throughout the restaurant adds to the fun of dining here.
The couple’s personality shines through every corner of the restaurant, making it feel incredibly inviting.
